Spam NFTs aren't just annoying; they're nefarious. 

Since many wallets automatically index and display new NFTs, bad actors can use tracking pixels in the NFT thumbnail metadata to scrape the time and IP address whenever you open your wallet. 

Avoid NFT autodetection!

Well if the wallet is loading an asset from a preview or NFT aggregator… then it probly isn’t hitting the ipfs link?

Not sure, but aggregators have to get the data somewhere, but they might have some cached.

don’t know exactly how OS aggregates but there’s always a privacy risk involved with automatically loading NFT in your wallet since it’s mostly through 3rd parties, and if it loads directly from source, of course the pixel issue @phil mentions could be a risk.

Well won’t that be on their servers , not directly loading in your wallet app, with your IP?

Most sites like OpenSea aren’t pulling the image from IPFS they have a saved version of it
